Openness and transparency are the buzz words in the new Obama Administration. And now with the help of USA dot gov., you can find previously misplaced federal documents online. The new site also offers tips on replacing flooded or burnt documents, as well as links to how to back up documents electronically. The site bases its recommendations on actual experience gained during recovery operations following a fire at the Washington National Records Center in Suitland, MD in 2001.

One of the most popular websites in the Federal Government is USA.GOV, the government information portal run by the General Services Administration. But in an age when e-mail is being supplanted by "social collaboration" tools, what does the GSA do to to keep USA.GOV relevant to today's citizens?

The agency views the changes to USA.gov as part of how innovations are changing government to solve challenges. Dave McClure proposes new website to bring together all the innovation efforts across government and share best practices.
